[PATCH v5 3/5] vmcore: Introduce remap_oldmem_pfn_range()

Fri Jun 7 12:55:59 EDT 2013


For zfcpdump we can't map the HSA storage because it is only available
via a read interface. Therefore, for the new vmcore mmap feature we have
introduce a new mechanism to create mappings on demand.

This patch introduces a new architecture function remap_oldmem_pfn_range()
that should be used to create mappings with remap_pfn_range() for oldmem
areas that can be directly mapped. For zfcpdump this is everything besides
of the HSA memory. For the areas that are not mapped by remap_oldmem_pfn_range()
a generic vmcore a new generic vmcore fault handler mmap_vmcore_fault()
is called. This handler does the following:

* Check if /proc/vmcore page cache page is already available
* If yes:
  - Return that page
* If no:
  - Allocate new page
  - Fill page using __vmcore_read()
  - Add new page to page cache
